I have played football since I was 9 years old, my Sunday’s have always been occupied. Last year when COVID hit I decided to take a year out as I fell out of love with the game. The year went fast and my Sunday’s were filled with relaxing and roast dinners. But something was missing. I decided to get the boots back out again and I played the last half of the season with Gedling southbank.
There was no expectations with Gedling and I just turned up scored a few goals and went home. I found my self loving football again and at the age of 33 and seeing how some of the Young ones are and what they inspire to be, and how much I helped them and how they were starting to look up to me. I found my purpose again and why I started football in the first place.
With the season drawing to a close and Gedling struggling for players. I decided to put the feelers out and see if anyone wanted a striker. I wasn’t expecting the messages I got off various teams some a lot higher than I have previously played. Which then made me think I’m still at a good age and I shouldn’t stop I should only stop when my body tells me.
I went down to watch Arnold eagles it was a sunny afternoon and I brought the wife and children with me, it was a good game of football. Saw a few old faces and got chatting to a very good friend Selina who asked me to go to training, I thought why not it’s local and I know Selina and some of the girls. I went for my first training and friendly and I really did enjoy it. The rest is history.
